Lyons announces completion of Lisburn Wayfinding Signage Project
Date published:
Communities Minister Gordon Lyons has announced the completion of the Lisburn Orientation and Walkability Wayfinding project.
The project, jointly funded by his department and Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, saw improvements to pedestrian navigation throughout Lisburn City Centre, with 18 new and replacement fingerpost and totem-style signs installed at key locations. These enhanced wayfinding features will guide residents and visitors to retail areas, bus and train stations, public parks, and public toilet facilities, making it easier and more accessible to navigate the city centre on foot.
Welcoming the project, Minister Lyons said,
“The completion of this project has enhanced the walkability of Lisburn City Centre and creates a more enjoyable experience for shoppers and visitors alike. By making it easier to navigate the city centre, this will support local businesses and encourage greater footfall. Investment in these types of initiatives strengthens the overall visitor experience in our urban centres, which is essential to their long-term viability and prosperity.”
Councillor Claire Kemp, Regeneration and Growth Chair at Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council added,
"I am delighted to see the Lisburn City Centre Wayfinding Project reaching completion. This investment is about making our city centre easier to navigate, more inclusive and more welcoming for everyone who lives, works in or visits Lisburn. Clear, accessible signage helps people move around with confidence, supports active travel and encourages greater footfall for local businesses. We are grateful to the Department for Communities for their support in helping us deliver a project that will make a practical difference to how people experience our city centre."
